First thing broke ever...
 
My oil pump drive shaft broke. First thing to ever break after almost 3 years, and tons of abuse. So i guess its not that bad. Went 12.5's 1.69-1.72 60's all day.

the pump driveshaft broke and it didn't kill the engine?

The first time I noticed it was gunning it leaving the track. I look down at full throttle. NO OIL Pressure. I just shut it off instantly.

Tough break! Hopefully you shut it down in time. When my motor was brand new I watched my pressure guage drop to zero about a block from my house, shut it down popped the hood to see that the oil pressure sender wire had popped off the sender, hooked it back up and breathed a big sigh of relief as the pressure went back up to full after startup.
